Am I the only one that feels riots ranked system is currently more broken than all of its champs combined. I mean first off you go 9-1 in placement and they think its appropriate to stick you in bronze III. Then bronze in general.... You cant get out of it. Skill is not a factor here. You will ALWAYS get stuck in games with complete trolls. I'm talking about do nothing just chase a jungler around and steal golems for 20 minutes and then deny surrender trolls.
HEAljvLykd1 votesSkill is a large factor. If you can't get out of Bronze, YOU WERE MEANT TO BE THERE.
Relus1 votesIts impossible to get out when your games are constantly thrown by people who are "just trying it out" and throwing games because they don't care about their rankings.

and if you're just trash at the game it'll be impossible to climb out of Bronze.
Mysticman891 votesHard as it is to realise it, the opposing teams have the same amount of trolls on average, so you'll get freebie games just as often as they're utterly thrown away.
Be better than bronze in the rest of the games (if not outright hard carry them), and boom, you have a >50% win rate->you'll rise in ranks.
Relus1 votesok then whats the point of having a 10 game placement system when you can win all our games and still end up in bronze?
Mysticman891 votesThe 10 games have a greater than normal impact on your MMR, which is what actually determines your rank (as opposed to simply wins/losses). If your MMR is sufficiently bad that the big MMR boost that 10-0 placements nets you still leaves you in bronze, then you would certainly have been placed in bronze without the placement matches. The difference though is with the increased MMR gains on the placement matches, your MMR might be such that you 'only' need to play 100 matches to climb to silver, while in a placement-less system where MMR gains/losses were normal throughout it might be a full 200 matches.
Keep in mind that although there is a soft reset to MMR at the start of season (which pulls most players downwards), your end of pre-season MMR is still a factor, so a top tier challenger god going 10-0 would place plat 1, while someone who spent all preseason trolling could conceivably have an MMR so low that 10-0 still placed them bronze 5.
FuntaC1 votesIt is a crap shoot in bronze. Some players have less than a 20% win rate. Some players tank to B5 intentionally. Your only hope is to consistently be on the team that opposes the one or more players with 20% win rate. Good luck
